No Complaining in 2013...DO SOMETHING!
Save $$$$ and Send a Powerful Message • Cancel Your Cable
MONEY TALKS...
Cable companies and Hollywood studios should think twice before producing and airing ridiculous, disrespectful 'coonery' shows like All My Babies Mamas w/ Shawty Lo and Basketball Wives.
DO THE MATH
• There are over 40,000,000 Black people in the United States
• If just 1% of Black America cancelled their cable for just 3 months, cable companies would lose over $120,000,000 (120 million dollars)!
• $100 (average monthly cable bill) x 3 months = $300
• $300 x 400,000 ( 1% of the Black population living in the United States) = $120,000,000
INTERESTING FACTS
• If Black America were its own country, it would be the 16th largest economy in the world!
• Black America has spending power of more than 1 TRILLION dollars per year!
5 BENEFITS - CANCELLING YOUR CABLE
1. Save our kids from looking at negative imagery
2. Free up your time
3. Save some money
4. Get satisfaction for taking a stand
5. Send a strong message to cable companies
Let's use our money wisely and strategically in 2013 • Consider Cancelling Your Cable... Stop Talking and Do Something!

As dysfunctional and violent as so-called reality shows are, could you ever imagine a one hour spectacle where 11 children are forced to witness their 10 unwed mothers clamor for financial support, emotional attention and s*xual reward from Shawty-Lo, the apathetic ‘father’?
Could you imagine that Oxygen Media, known for violent programming targeting young women with stereotypical images, would consider the embarrassment that these children will experience, being used as entertainment?
Could you imagine that Oxygen Media, would use a slur against mothers, fathers and children and entitle this debacle, “All My Babies’ Mamas”? Cori Abraham, Oxygen Media, Senior Vice President of Development wrote in a press release: “…..over-the-top moments that our young, diverse female audience can tweet and gossip about….leaving the man of the house to split his affection multiple ways while trying to create order… but sharing your man with several opinionated women is bound to create issues.”
Tragically, this day has come.
What is the difference between this train wreck and the other reality trash which clog the airwaves?
THE CHILDREN!....OUR CHILDREN!
And it is these children...our children who will hold all of us accountable by allowing them to be exploited, internationally, in this manner. Our children will suffer from these negativity and for someone like you standing up for them and saying:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
What You Can Do?
"Sign today to tell Oxygen that their viewers will not tolerate a show that exploits and stereotypes Black children and families, and we will boycott any advertiser who chooses to support the show."
Join RapRehab.com, BlackMenInAmerica.com, The Mo'Kelly Report/The Mo'Kelly Show, MyBrownBaby.com, Ulysses "Butch" Slaughter of The Odyssey Project and other influential individuals like YOU...by signing this petition and forward to your friends, family and colleagues. And make sure that everyone in your household stands up.
With your voice...this ugliness will not see international airwaves.
